Read the passage below. Based on the passage, match each theoretical paradigm of customary international law with the specific element or consideration that is NOT accommodated by its framework.
Passage:
The jurisprudential debate over the epistemological foundations of customary international law (CIL) has engendered four distinct paradigms, each demarcated as much by its analytical omissions as by its affirmative claims. The orthodox Voluntarist model, predicated on the absolute sovereignty of the nation-state, necessitates both widespread state practice and opinio juris. However, its rigid state-centrism renders it structurally incapable of assimilating the normative weight of declarations generated by supranational non-governmental entities. In stark contrast, the Instant Custom theory, championed by theorists emphasizing the declaratory power of UN General Assembly resolutions, bypasses the temporal requirement of state practice. Yet, in its haste to validate rapidly crystallizing moral consensus, this framework explicitly jettisons any requirement for demonstrating historical behavioral conformity among states. Alternatively, the Rational Choice paradigm conceptualizes CIL not as binding law per se, but as a precarious equilibrium of self-interested state coordination. By reducing compliance to mere game-theoretic optimization, this approach deliberately excludes intrinsic moral imperatives from its calculus of norm adherence. Finally, the Transnational Legal Process (TLP) theory attempts to bridge the domestic-international divide by focusing on the internalization of international norms into domestic legal architecture. While robust in describing legislative adoption, TLP theorists conspicuously omit any analysis of how structural macroeconomic disparities between the Global North and South might coercively dictate which norms are internalized.
